What a beautiful book this is. Each sentence is so carefully wrought, the language always riskily fresh. It is desperately romantic. Though the characterization is at times awkward - a by-product of Ondaatje's risk-taking - one falls achingly in love with the characters. Ondaatje writes piecemeal, crafting scenes, honing characters, and then hoping for a narrative. He has said that the first section he wrote was Caravaggio's theft of the camera in the hotel. The English patient's voice arrived with the word 'aerodrome.' Count Ladislaus de Almásy, Ralph Bagnold, Hassanein Bey, and certain others mentioned in the book were genuine desert explorers. The real Almásy was, however, gay, and probably not the erudite romantic figure of the novel. Though the setting is exotic, some of the Katharine/Geoffrey Clifton/Ladislaus de Almásy triangle may be related to Ondaatje's theft of Kim Ondaatje (thin, blonde, artsy) from her professor husband in Ontario. The themes include identity, religions, encounters across cultures, and youth/age. At one point the English patient says: " There's a painting by Caravaggio, done late in his life. David with the Head of Goliath. In it, the young warrior holds at the end of his outstretched arm the head of Goliath, ravaged and old. But that is not the true sadness in the picture. It is assumed that the face of David is a portrait of the youthful Caravaggio and the head of Goliath is a portrait of him as an older man, how he looked when he did the painting. Youth judging age at the end of its outstretched hand. The judging of ones's own mortality. I think when I see him at the foot of my bed that Kip is my David." But the thief Caravaggio is of course also a portrait of Ondaatje, and one could surmise that the older Ondaatje is judging the young self who committed the infidelities with an older woman. The English Patient gathers many other works into its pages: Anna Karenina, Kim (echoing his first wife's name, and also chiming with Kip), Herodotus' Histories, A Midsummer Night's Dream ("Sometime a fire" is taken from a speech by Puck), Paradise Lost, and jazz lyrics, among others. The book does not entirely work. The final sections, in which Kip, an Indian Sikh, hears of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and imagines "all Asia on fire," then threatens the English patient and drives off in a rage, are silly. As is "meet me at the moondial." Overall, Kip is the least convincing character. His actions lack coherence. However, the scenes in which he watches the Virgin come across the water, and his hours in deserted Naples are lovely. The novel was made into a marvelous film by Anthony Minghella, which somehow manages to capture both the romance and the ungainliness of the book. There are some dreadful scenes (Almásy telling Katharine: "I still have the taste of you in my mouth," while munching chocolate, for example. Or Caravaggio's "What if I said 'Moose'?") But these are offset by the opening scenes with the brushwork fading into the desert and the shadow of the plane, against the background of Hungarian vocals; and the scene where Almásy carries the dead Katharine out of the cave.

I read this book because it was on a "list" of great books. It reminded me of "David Copperfield" by Dickens - only set in the early 1900's. I found myself enjoying the story, and rooting for Phillip.

I am sad to say, that for me, this book was a total let down. I was excited at the premise of the book; what if your imaginary friend from childhood was real. However, I just felt the entire story line lacked growth and development, well and any form of explanation about the imaginary friend issues. You could tell the authors tried to show Jane’s growth through the novel but it wasn’t convincing. Plus I may have been the only one to find it funny that the main characters names were Jane and Michael. Probably the only reason I gave this novel 2 stars is because of the settings… Manhattan and Nantucket…how much better can it get. I have always wanted to visit these places and to hear them described in so much depth was exciting for me. Other then that this book was a huge let down.

I had a supporting role in this play freshman year, as the obnoxious science fair competitor who pressure-cooked a cat.

I know there are many five star reviews for this book, but not from me. I just can't. Maybe because I listened to 80% of it on CD, but mostly because Beryl Markham just seemed so impersonal to me. I also love books about Africa, but not this time. It is written with great use of language, but, honestly, I am just happy to be done.

I know this is a series, but it's a weird "series". It takes a long time for me to get in to Cooper's writing style. It seems helter-skelter and the storyline is sometimes hard to follow. Of course, since I've read the first two already, I'll need to read the next two.

Interesting series that takes a different approach to the issue of Troy. This author's writing style is a little different and takes some getting used to, but once you get used to it, it's actually quite enjoyable!
